Beba Bean-Review and Giveaway

Laugh. Love. Baby

A poncho brings back memories of my dearly missed Maw Maw.  She was always crocheting something for someone-either a poncho, slippers, hats, mittens, scarves or an afghan so when Beba Bean offered me to review an item of my choice I chose the Knit Poncho.

My Take-Love it!  Even though it’s still too warm to wear a poncho during the day, it is perfect for these cooler mornings that we have been having.
The poncho is made of soft cotton that did really well in the wash. I wanted to make sure it wouldn’t shrink so I did choose to air dry it.
Obviously a poncho has no sleeves or zippers so that means it also offered no worries!  No pushing her arms through or tugging to get them out of sleeves.  No baby squirming while I try to zip her up.  When we headed out it was so easy to just throw the poncho over Gracie’s head.  Then when we got back it was just as easy to take it off.  What's easier than that?
I was a little concerned that Gracie wouldn’t like the added fabric that COULD bunch up on her chest if she kept her arms up but that didn’t happen at all.  It also did well under the straps on both her stroller and car seat.  In fact, she was as content as ever so happy baby makes for a happy Mama. Am I right?  

About-Beba Bean was co-founded in 2002 by mom & designer, Lisa Malcic in beautiful British Columbia, Canada.  The Pee Pee Teepee ^TM was the first Beba Bean product created and is still enormously popular 8 years later!  The line has expanded to include both apparel and accessory products along with the original Pee Pee Teepee^TM’s. Beba Bean products are now carried in over 2000 retail stores across Canada, the United States, Australia, Europe and Asia. 

Being a mom of 2 young children, coupled with a clothing design background, Lisa saw a gap in the baby apparel and gift market for innovative products that parents loved and babies couldn’t live without. Wanting to keep a fun and whimsical feel along with a fashionable edge to each product, Lisa complements the popularity of the Pee Pee Teepee^TM by continually adding new fresh products to the Beba Bean line. 

In recent years Beba Bean has grown to include Bamboo and Cotton Knit apparel and blankets, gift items for the discerning buyer and adorable accessories. Attention to detail and function coupled with a chic and innovative appeal make Beba Bean products irresistible!
